Figure 9

PGE 2 generation and COX-2 gene expression in T. gondii -infected SkMC. (A) Synthesis of PGE2 by EIA. The listed columns represent SkMC control with approximate values in all points. The black columns show infected cultures where there is a time-dependent increase in the production of PGE2. (B) Representation of COX-2 gene expression by RT-PCR in T. gondii- infected SkMC after 3 and 24 h. The white columns represent SkMC control with approximate values in all points. The gray columns show infected muscle cells where there is a time-dependent increase in the production of COX-2 gene. t- test: *P ≤ 005.
